biography
Red's dj career started in 1992 where he, at the age of 16, started performing at highschool parties. During highschool he started playing at lots of underground parties in Leiden and soon after school he began working at Cyber Records. From that point on the list with bookings began to grow with gigs at Holland's most respected clubs like De Waakzaamheid, Nighttown, Escape, Mazzo and Paradiso to name a few.
Under the name of Electronic Entertainment (a collaboration with his 2 best friends) some legendary parties were held in Leiden's LVC with as absolute highpoint the Technoville Festival in 1997. Technoville was a 2-day indoor techno mini-festival where the cream of Dutch dance dj's and live acts were invited. More than 30 dj's and acts dropped by that day, making it a memorable festival...
Besides being a dj, Red has been working fulltime in the music industry for over 7 years, first for the recordstore/recordlabel Cyber Records, followed by record distributor Moxmusic and currently for recordlabel United Recordings. Together with Armin van Buuren, Red produced a couple of tracks which got released on several labels. Currently Red is focusing on producing some new tracks; some older released and unreleased tracks will be available for download on this site soon...
A new fresh aspect of Red's career is the All Hands On Decks project; this is a dj collective of 5 dj's performing simultaneously with 10 turntables, each dj 2 turntables and a mixer, merged into one spectacular performance!
